Knowing Our Place


I read something the other day and it said: Do you know
That the orbit of Pluto cuts across the orbit of Neptune
On its’ way around the sun, and in doing so for awhile

It becomes the eighth planet in our Solar System? And
It takes two-hundred and forty-some years for Pluto to
Complete one orbit around the sun. My orbit takes only

365-days, and in that time I cross your orbit a number
Of times. Still I’m only one of seven-billion circling the
Sun. And like it or not, we all get where we’re headed

At pretty much the same time.
